London to Manchester and Liverpool
Thanks to train service improvements on the North West route of England you can get from London to Manchester or London to Liverpool in just 2 hours and 8 minutes. From London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street or Manchester Piccadilly enjoy the comfortable journey, with departures roughly every half hour, from one lively city to another.
You’ll also appreciate the environmental benefits, as the state-of-the art Virgin Pendolino train, emits around 76 percent less CO2 than cars or domestic airlines. It’s also known to be punctual – arriving on time or early 92 percent of the time. And passengers travelling in First Class on weekdays often enjoy complimentary refreshments, making train travel on this route highly satisfactory!
